I know what your thinking, I can't afford one of those! Yes you can! Hey, I'm all about helping you save money aren't I? That's why I started this blog. So, here is how it goes, I have a starting price on my Diaper Cakes (for those of you that do not know what a diaper cake is, they are shaped like a cake but made COMPLETELY out of diapers...non edible) Then YOU get to customize what "Ingredients" you want into the cake. Example, lotion, baby powder, bottles, clippers, diaper rash ointment, ect. I also make small items that can be added to the cake or just as a little favor for the mom as an add on gift to what you may have already purchased. Go check out my facebook page,here it is called Diaper Cakes By Connie and you will see some of the creations I have made. ALSO....starting September 11, I will be having a contest and giving something away, so be sure to check out my page and like it so you can get in on the contest!

For those of you with a doggie, we love to spoil them as much as we do our kids(Cause they are our kids :)) So here is an EASY recipe for the famous "Frosty Paws" ice cream that you can make at home......Doggie will love....

Frosty Paws Dog Ice
Cream Recipe

32 oz. plain yogurt
1 mashed banana
2 T p'nut butter
2 T honey

It’s true dairy products aren’t good for dogs, but yogurt contains
much less lactase than regular milk and the live cultures are great for your
dog’s digestive system. This dog ice cream recipe is
delicious and good for your pet!1. Mix all these ingredients in your blender, then dump into
ice cube trays, paper cups, or even a kong toy to freeze and serve. 2. If you want to go all out for your mutt you can freeze
these homemade frosty paws just like you would homemade ice cream.
A salt-less automatic ice cream maker makes this as easy as using any other
appliance in your home and the frosty paws will be ready to serve in 10 minutes.For the ultimate treat, appropriate for desert at a doggy
birthday party, follow steps one and two, then take the mostly frozen dog ice
cream product of number two and spread it 1” to 1½” thick
on wax paper. Freeze for five minutes and thenremove dog ice cream from freezer.
Next, use a paw shaped cookie cutter to cut a paw shaped “frosty paws”,
remove ice cream around edges, and return paw shapes to the freezer to freeze
solid.
